After parsing the PDF let me say this, given the ramifications a decision would have on the eligibility of so many people, I think if rules at all, it will be to declare those born to a US Citizen (One or Both Parents) to be Natural Born. Politically, the question could be framed as your trying to make the children of service-members born abroad 2nd class citizens. How many politicians want to be on the that side?

The problem is that the American born Mrs. Cruz was a Canadian citizen when Ted was born in Canada. Ted was born in Canada to a Canadian citizen. How does he get to be an American citizen as his parents were not serving in the military, nor residing on US Territory in Canada, nor serving any American interest. They were their by their choice and free will and quite apart from any American relationship.

We are not taking away the right of people to be citizens. This is about a constitiutional, unique requirement for the President of the United States. And it is what it is, just like the 2nd amendment. We can pass a constitutional amendment if we don’t like it.

Why did we care where Obama was actually born since his mother was a US Citizen. Under a liberal meaning of NBC he could have been born in Kenya...no problem!

We are going to have some real interesting debates when these same characters take up who should be a citizen.
